BUILD Home Builder 2025 About the Home Builder Awards 2025 BUILD Magazine is proud to introduce the Home Builder Awards 2025! Now in its ninth year, this prestigious awards programme is dedicated to recognizing the leading companies, innovators, and trailblazers in the Home building sector. As the Home building industry continues to evolve and adapt, the Home Builder Awards will provide an essential platform to celebrate those who are driving excellence, sustainability, and innovation in residential construction. The Home building industry is transforming rapidly, fuelled by technological innovation and a strong focus on sustainability. Builders and homeowners are moving away from traditional methods, utilising new materials and techniques that improve efficiency, safety, and environmental impact. This shift is redefining how we build and live in our homes. These changes aren’t temporary trends—they represent a lasting evolution in the way we design and construct living spaces. The Home building industry plays a vital role in global economies, meeting the ever-increasing demand for housing. In 2024, the global residential construction market is valued at over $4.6 trillion, and looking ahead the Home building industry is poised for continued growth, with projections suggesting a steady expansion of up to 6.3% CAGR through 2030. Population growth, urbanisation, and shifting consumer preferences toward sustainable housing and work-from-home friendly spaces are key drivers of this expansion. This increasing need for affordable housing in rapidly growing cities around the world will remain a major trend propelling the industry forward in the coming years. Rising material costs, labour shortages, and strict regulations are creating hurdles for builders and developers, while environmental concerns continue to put pressure on the industry to lower its carbon footprint and adapt to more eco-friendly practices.

BUILD Home Builder Awards 2025 AIS-Jan25023 Cottage Advisors ME LLC Building close-knit communities one cottage at a time, Cottage Advisors ME LLC is a family-oriented homebuilding company promoting the unique lifestyle that comes with living in a purpose-built cottage. Celebrating its 20th anniversary in the trade this year, Cottage Advisors has headed up the development of property to the tune of more than $400 million, delivering almost 1,250 units to date throughout North America. Below, we catch up with second-generation manager, Howard ‘Chip’ Hall, who tells us more about this multi-awardwinning homebuilder. The year is 2005, and Howard John Hall, a renowned Massachusetts real estate mogul, land use attorney, and developer, has identified a significant shift in the property market. More and more people are in search of a home that is manageable and reasonably sized, one boasting an efficient design and an awareness of the environment, and, most importantly, which represents a sense of community that has long since been missing. Two decades later, as we now know, the trends Howard identified have become more prominent than ever. In 2025, these shifts have culminated in a series of property megatrends – with these spanning everything from a greater emphasis on outdoor living to the seamless integration of natural features, pedestrian-friendly designs, and the development of high density or cluster houses in communities. Howard ‘Chip’ Hall – son of the visionary Howard John Hall – explains: “Our communities are designed to embrace these Most Trusted Community Builder 2025 – Maine & BUILD Client Service Excellence Award 2025 trends while paying careful attention to site selection, land planning, and housing designs.” Before we get ahead of ourselves, we must first go back even further to 1976, which is the year Howard John Hall developed his first residential community, inadvertently planting the seed for Cottage Advisors to blossom 30 years later in the process. A few years before he officially developed Cottage Advisors, this esteemed attorney had even partnered with another builder in his hometown of Westford, MA. This partnership led to The Village at Stone Ridge, an age-restricted condo development comprising 110 separate units. Standing as a beacon for open space preservation and thoughtful design and construction practices, this development reflected Howard’s commitment to preserving the natural beauty of the sites he worked on. This, combined with his highly personable

5 design and finish services that have since been seamlessly integrated into the company’s offerings. This allows clients to personalize their finishes, showcasing the company’s expertise in delivering semi-custom homes at production home prices. The exceptional quality of fit and finish distinguishes these homes from typical production builds, making them an outstanding choice for those seeking affordable quality in southern Maine. Moreover, Chip says: “We work hard to support connections to local communities, something so often lacking in today’s conventional housing options. This goal is at the heart of Cottage Advisors’ planning process.” For the company, a big part of nurturing this united community feel is staying abreast of changes within its circles, adjusting the services it provides to make sure it serves its growing audience as effectively as possible. As an example of this, a recent shift has been the demand for these cottages from first-time buyers, a trend that has seen the company divert from the downsizing families and active adults it usually focuses on. Commenting on this welcome turn, Chip says: “To address this demand, we are designing new products and launching a project called Creekside Crossing in Kennebunk Maine. With the addition of this new project, our company will be able to quickly provide products in all three market sectors.” This brings us nicely on to the future plans for Cottage Advisors, with these being based around the company expanding its presence in southern Maine. Two new communities are currently being worked on, and the team are actively seeking out new sites which will house any future developments. Finally, for Chip, the future of the company is also exciting on a personal level, as two of his sons, are actively involved in its growth. His eldest son, Howard Jensen Hall, Owner of HH Construction, coordinates and implements all site work for each site. Chip’s youngest son, Lukas Hall, has recently been promoted and is now at the helm of the land acquisitions team – strategically positioning the company for future growth. A family affair through and through, Cottage Advisors is today anchored to three generations of expertise in the real estate development market. The 20-year journey that the company has been on has seen it set the benchmark when it comes to cottage homes across North America, and its recent focus on southern Maine has seen it usher in a new era of construction excellence in this region. In closing, Chip beams as he tells us of the honor he feels at Cottage Advisors ME LLC being named as the Most Trusted Community Builder 2025 – Maine and presented with the BUILD Client Service Excellence Award 2025. He says: “These achievements reflect the dedication of our staff. As the owner, I recognize these are the accomplishments of our team and trade partners, and we are very proud.” Those wishing to know more about Cottage Advisors or view pictures of its exemplary real estate development and custom home projects are invited to follow the link below.

In the early days, Cottage Advisors’ primary focus was creating communities of classic resortstyle cottages across New England and Canada. Acting as both a developer and building partner, the company created such remarkable developments as The Cottages at Summer Village and Seaglass Village in Wells, ME; Summer Village at the Pond in Westford, MA; and Sandbanks Summer Village in Ontario’s Prince Edward County – to name a few. With these acclaimed cottage and community design principles and specifications in tow, 2014 saw Cottage Advisors enter into the residential home market, with Howard “Chip” Hall at the helm, creating The Cottages at River Hill in West Newbury, MA, its first in a long line of pocket neighbourhoods. Then, in 2022, Chip made the decision to focus exclusively on Maine’s housing market – acquiring two huge projects totalling 145 units over the course of a six-month period. A massive undertaking, the company moved and relocated employees, found a new real estate partner, sourced new subcontractors, and even streamlined its internal processes to effectively scale its delivery services within its new home state of Maine. It was not long before this undertaking proved itself to be highly beneficial, with the team completing The Cottages at Coastal Pines and today being in the final phase of developing The Cottages at Pheasant Knoll, a community designed with active adults in mind. This new strategic focus on Maine has driven the company to achieve the highest sales and revenue growth in its history, with record-breaking numbers for deliveries and closings. From its base in the heart of southern Maine, Cottage Advisors is continuing to hone its craft, joining local architect partners to develop and build a series of unique cluster developments. These communities are anything, but mass produced and more than meet the highly specific needs of property owners in today’s America. Every community crafted by the team comes complete with an awareness of the modern lifestyle, as well as reflecting all of the quaint, distinct architectural charm customary with cottages. Expanding on this, Chip explains: “Our design process begins from the inside out. We start by creating a functional floor plan, then focus on how our clients will live within the space, ensuring that each room flows seamlessly into the next. This results in flexible floor plans tailored to our clients’ specific living habits. Once the interior layout is finalized, we then offer multiple exterior elevations for each floor plan, guaranteeing that each neighborhood has a unique visual appeal, with no identical units.” In 2014, Kathy Hall, Chip's wife, introduced a selections process for buyers, offering

BUILD Home Builder Awards 2025 Newberry Homes & Development Group was established in 2014 when Chadwick Newberry partnered with his father, Michael Newberry, a seasoned construction expert. Leveraging Michael’s extensive construction experience, the pair teamed up with the aim of building unique communities throughout Central Florida. Together their first major project—a boutique subdivision of luxury beach homes—earned Newberry a distinguished reputation as an expert in high-end custom home construction and building coastal homes in Volusia County and Central Florida. Specializing in custom design-build homes, Newberry is committed to delivering custom luxury homes in the community that blend functionality, elegance, and innovation. Over the years, the firm has built a strong reputation as one of the premier custom home builders in Volusia County, Best Custom Design & Build Firm 2025 – Central Florida Designing & Building High-End Custom Homes in Volusia County and Central Florida Design-build construction is a streamlined approach where a single entity manages both the architectural design and construction phases of a home build. This seamless process allows homeowners to collaborate with one trusted company from concept to completion, ensuring transparency, efficiency, and superior craftsmanship. Today, we explore Newberry Homes & Development Group, a premier luxury custom home builder in Volusia County, recognized in the Home Builder Awards 2025. Below, Chadwick Newberry, President of Newberry Homes, shares insights into their innovative approach and industry leadership. renowned for its meticulous craftsmanship, attention to detail, and commitment to client satisfaction. Every Newberry home is thoughtfully designed to reflect the unique character of its location, creating exclusive custom-built homes that redefine modern luxury. A Client-Centric Approach to Custom Home Building Newberry works with clients seeking a one-of-a-kind custom home that is specifically designed for their lifestyle and unique property. This advantageous offering enables Newberry to distinguish itself within the crowded market as a firm famed for delivering customised and unique designs, continually meeting and exceeding the diverse expectations of its clientele. Whether crafting custom estate homes in Volusia County or innovative steel-framed homes, the team prioritizes collaboration, quality, and transparency.

7 “We focus on high design, quality customisation during the construction process when necessary, and provide a high-touch customer experience throughout the construction process,” says Chadwick. “Because we take pride in our craftsmanship and invest heavily in ensuring we provide the best service, our clients see and appreciate the premium services we provide throughout the entire process. In the end, our clients value the one-of-a-kind home design and exceptional experience that Newberry provides.” The Newberry Design-Build Process To maintain its outstanding offerings, Newberry follows a refined, step-bystep custom home construction and design process to ensure excellence at every stage. First, the team takes the time to understand the design aesthetic of the client’s desired home, any specific design parameters they may have, and their anticipated budget range. Newberry’s general contractor will then work hand-in-hand with the design team to ensure that the first design draft stays within the budget. From there, it’s time for custom design development and the client is presented with the opportunity to modify the design and make any changes. Newberry’s team works closely with the homeowner to create a unique architectural plan. Newberry will analyse these changes, anticipating whether these changes will exceed the proposed budget and clearly communicate the situation as and when necessary. Once the design has been finalised, any price adjustments will be made to the total contract cost before the team move on to the engineering stage of the custom design-build process. “To undertake a designbuild type contact, there needs to be a level of trust and transparency between the client and the custom home builder,” adds Chadwick. “I think this is why many of our clients are repeat clients.” Newberry builds this trust and transparency by prioritising clientcentricity at every stage of the homebuilding process. The firm assigns a project coordinator to each of its clients, providing them with continuous access to a Newberry representative so they can address any questions or concerns that may arise during the construction process. This coordinator additionally accompanies clients on their shopping expeditions to aid them in selecting home finishes from Newberry’s meticulously selected vendors. Innovative & Trend-Driven Custom Home Solutions Newberry continually adapts to emerging trends in luxury custom home construction and leverages the latest industry technologies to streamline and enhance the project process. Such technologies include Newberry’s client portal, through which regular updates can be delivered in real-time. The portal can be accessed online via the company website or through a smartphone app, making it incredibly accessible and user-friendly. Field supervisors will upload progressional photos alongside weekly updates, so that clients can follow the progress of their construction project even when far away. This is incredibly advantageous to Newberry, as the company builds a high number of beach homes to non-local clients who appreciate the ability to check in whenever, from wherever. A Landmark Project: Building Custom Luxurious Home in Ponce Inlet For over a decade, Newberry has consistently undertaken and completed custom build construction projects to an incredibly high standard, so much so that the firm has become renowned across the industry for its excellence. Of all these projects, Chadwick highlights one of the company’s standout moments as its inaugural project, a beachside community of luxury custom built homes in the beautiful town of Ponce Inlet. This boutique community consisted of five single-family homes, designed with Key West style architecture to encapsulate the surrounding water views of the Atlantic Oceans and Intracoastal Waterways. “This was our first real estate development project,” he recalls, “so there were a lot of obstacles to overcome, and we learned a lot from that multi-year-long project. Although it was a difficult project to oversee and complete, we did build all the homes within the community as intended and created a legacy project that Newberry is highly recognised for. That project branded Newberry as a custom homebuilder of beach homes, a company that can oversee real estate development, and an innovative thinker when it comes to home design.” Custom Build Home Trends With the aim of maintaining this remarkable reputation, Chadwick tells us that Newberry continually analyses and assessed the evolving market for emerging trends and changes to regulation. Currently, the firm has observed a number of trends within the marketplace that are shifting consumer behaviour and reshaping the state of the market. One of the first trends noticed is the increase in people who are wanting to live in highly desirable neighbourhoods in Downtown Orlando but, because of the high cost of land, are opting to live in smaller, high-design, singlefamily homes. Now, thanks to these smaller house designs, more people are able to afford the highly sought-after neighbourhoods that would have been otherwise financially out of reach. Alongside this, Newberry has also observed a rising interest in steel homes. Many of the smaller homes being built by the firm are steel homes, fabricated in affiliates factory. Steel homes are being increasingly reported as a distinctly better final product than those produced in conventional construction and, because of the higher cost for construction materials following COVID-19, are typically at price parity with conventional constructed homes. Now, many of the homes Newberry builds are made with steel fabricated in affiliates factory, partly due to the shorter build time but primarily due to the firm’s unwavering belief in the product. The firm has also identified a rising trend sparked by changes to the climate currently occurring around the world; there has been a rise in customers who are concerned about the frequency and strength of Florida storms, particularly in clients seeking to live oceanfront. In response to this emerging concern, Newberry predicts that there will be a strong demand for weather-resistant home designs throughout the region, such as dome homes, and aims to adapt and evolve its offerings in alignment. In fact, this concern has already taken shape in the form of new and unique projects being undertaken by the company. “Currently, we are in the engineering phase for a three-story concrete dome, oceanfront home in Ponce Inlet, Florida,” Chadwick tells us. “This client wanted a home that could withstand a direct hit from a severe storm if necessary, so they wanted to build a dome home on their oceanfront property. Because of the uniqueness of this project, the client was recommended to talk with us at Newberry for this custom home. Our design team welcomed the opportunity to design this one-of-a-kind home, and this has been an exciting project for us to partner on with this client.” In 2025, Newberry intends to begin construction of this oceanfront dome home, alongside a number of other various projects displaying its unbridled architectural abilities. The dome home project will result in a 15,000 square foot home sitting upon several acres of oceanfront property, providing unparalleled views of the stunning surrounding scenery. The exterior of this home will have a futuristic aesthetic whilst the interior will be more organic, highlighting Newberry’s unmatched adaptability when meeting its clients’ diverse taste preferences. Ultimately, this will be a pioneering project for the company, and one that we at BUILD magazine cannot wait to see completed.

BUILD Home Builder Awards 2025 Operating beyond boundaries, Vantage & Co Group Ltd is a premier construction contractor based in the heart of England. Specialising in all things luxury, the company tackles residential and commercial projects alike. Today, it enjoys a client base spanning everything from discerning homeowners in search of lavish, bespoke spaces through to commercial businesses striving for an elegant yet functional development. Delivering its services throughout the Midlands and beyond, a Vantage & Co project is easy to spot thanks to the markers of quality and innovation. Best Bespoke Construction Contractor 2025 – West Midlands Standing at the intersection of vision and craftsmanship, Midlands-based contractor Vantage & Co is a full-service company, with its process covering everything from initial concept and design to final construction and beyond. Such a comprehensive approach to projects ensures they are all executed to perfection – something aided further by its overarching belief that every project is unique and should be treated as such, as well as a suite of core values spanning the likes of collaboration, transparency, and excellence. One example of a successful project born out of this encompassing philosophy was finished just last year, this being the complete restoration of a luxury Georgian property located in the centre of Birmingham’s renowned Jewellery Quarter. When the team first started work on this transformation project, the building was in a state of total ruin. This made its restoration even more satisfying, as rather than simply fixing up a building, those who worked on this project instead brought a treasured piece of local history back to life. Reconditioning the villa – which is one of only two Georgian properties left in the area – did come with its fair share of challenges however, with Vantage & Co having to navigate years of neglect and carry out extensive structural repairs, all without losing the original essence of the building. Aiding it in this quest were the team at D5 Architects, who helped the company overcome such hurdles as repairing its handcrafted Bath Stone staircase and ensuring modern electrical and heating systems were seamlessly fitted. As this project suggests, collaboration is more than just a value for Vantage & Co, it is a cornerstone of its operation. Rather than working for its clients, the company works with them – as well as a network of architects and designers – to forge lasting relationships and make magic happen. In the luxury sector where it operates, this commitment to going above and beyond is essential for success, with its attention to the finer details resulting in a level of craftsmanship that speaks for itself across every project. We are far from the first to notice the outstanding craftsmanship embodied by Vantage & Co, with its aforementioned Georgian villa project even culminating in the company being named as Master Builder of the Year. Not only is this recognition a testament to the project itself, it is also reflection of the company’s unique ability to flawlessly coordinate its multidisciplinary team of industry experts, resulting in the wildest dreams of its clients being turned into tangible realities and beacons of luxury innovation. Exploring what is a compulsive need to innovate, Vantage & Co is a company that has always had its finger on the pulse when it comes to design and construction trends. As these evolve, so too do the methods and services of the team, with these talented individuals constantly scoping out new materials, technologies, and design ideas to future-proof projects. In recent years, such initiatives have revolved around growing calls for sustainability, which the company has responded to by prioritising the use of eco-friendly materials. With its environmentally friendly ethos to boot, 2025 is shaping up to be another strong year for Vantage & Co, which has some exciting developments in motion for the rest of this year and further into the future. Top priority for the company is continuing to build a legacy and reputation for delivering bespoke, high-end luxury projects in both residential and commercial settings, all whilst evolving alongside the trends of the space and focusing on energy efficiency and environmentally conscious construction. On the back of this award, the company’s Rebecca Rankin explains in her own words: “As we continue to grow, we aim to further strengthen our relationships with trusted partners, architects, and clients, ensuring that each project maintains the highest level of craftsmanship and quality. The future is bright, and we at Vantage & Co Group Ltd look forward to the opportunity to push boundaries, exceed expectations, and continue delivering extraordinary, bespoke spaces for our clients.” Contact: Rebecca Rankin Company: Vantage & Co Group Ltd Web Address: https://www.vantageandcogroup.com/
